Child-centric Curriculum

A unique preschool experience at TCH U-Thant

“The greatest development is achieved during the first years of life, and therefore it is then that the greatest care should be taken. If this is done, then the child does not become a burden; he will reveal himself as the greatest marvel of nature,” Dr. Maria Montessori.

Located in the heart of Kuala Lumpur, The children’s house TCH U-Thant offers a beautiful building nestled between tall green trees. Carefully designed keeping in mind the deep connection between nature and development of your child, U-Thant provides a 1.5-acre spacious compound with exclusive facilities and latest playground equipment to create a constant opportunity for exploration and fun.

The Montessori Method believes that every child is born a sensorial explorer, and that’s why U-Thant allows children to explore the outdoors and indoors freely as they embrace the potential of the first of its kind – a Montessori Cottage in The City.

Built with the purpose of stimulating creativity in children, the Atelier tree is a key feature of the preschool that your little one will completely love. It is a massive tree with an atelier built around it. The atelier has been specially designed with glass windows including the rooftop to ensure your child gets sufficient sunlight and can enjoy the outdoors to get inspiration for creating artwork. All the original work from the centre will then be displayed in the Children’s Art Gallery.

Not only that, the Alfresco Dining area at U-Thant adds to the perfect childcare facilities for your little one. So your child will be able to enjoy the cool air and the freshness of the surroundings under the shade of the soothing trees.

Nature-inspired learning at The children’s house U-Thant

The U-Thant preschool recognises the importance of nature or play-based learning in the early years of your child. Every activity is carefully designed to encourage the social, cognitive, emotional and physical development of the child. Most of all, it triggers the sense of curiosity and creativity in children, which helps them develop problem-solving skills required to be successful.

As children interact with the environment and learn to take care of their surroundings, a sense of responsibility and kindness develops. Eventually, children learn to identify their emotions, express them, and respond effectively. They develop great self-esteem and it drives them to follow their passion and be the best version of themselves. This enables a smooth transition to higher levels in school where children are able to cope with the challenges and competition.

This Montessori Cottage stands out with the iconic red French windows, furnished with modern learning spaces. The programmes available at The children’s house U-Thant include Montessori Playgroup for Pre-toddlers and toddlers (8 months – 2.5 years old) and Montessori Junior for Nursery and Preparatory (2.6 to 6 years old).

U-Thant is not only a preschool, but it is also a daycare. A full-time programme from 8am to 6pm gives mothers an opportunity to take mornings off, go for extracurricular activities, part-time jobs or full-time jobs. Having a childcare that you can trust is such a big relief for the parents.

As always, our prepared environment is purposefully designed, child-centred and stimulating. A non-competitive and nature-inspired learning atmosphere opens the child’s mind to learning and ultimately activates their desire for lifelong learning.

A complete Montessori learning environment

The Montessori method of learning gives your child a perfect mix of academic-based and play-based learning. Even after a century of its creation, the Montessori method still remains relevant and stands the test of time, making it one of the most popular preschool curriculum among parents and children. The materials have been developed through years of extensive research by Dr. Maria Montessori.

Your child can enjoy a variety of materials in the centre. Home-like materials like jugs, spoons, ladles, and bowls are available to develop practical skills in the child. Activities like spooning, transferring and pouring helps to increase concentration, coordination of movement, balance and foster a spirit of independence in the child.

Parents of Fleur Civel

“We will never forget the day we brought Chloe to your school for a visit. We asked her if she liked the school in all its bright red and white tones and she said yes without hesitation. She refused to leave when it was time to go after being given some time to play with the other children.”

Mr and Mrs Chan

Parents of Chloe Chan

“My involvement with The children’s house began 28 years ago when I was looking for a preschool for my daughter. I searched high and low for the one that fulfilled my checklist – quality education, a clean environment and dedicated, friendly staff. I visited 8 preschools, but none matched my expectations. Finally, I stumbled upon a quaint, red and white preschool along Jalan Ampang called The children’s house, which was also recommended by a friend. It was one of the best accidental finds of my life.”
